However, like I said in a different post, that won't allow encrypted FTP. In order for that work, you need to translate the "port" and "passive" commands inside the control connection to have the new IP.

why do you expect to be able to tunnet 'ftp' like that? ftp sends only commands via port 21. data is sent via a seperate connection (data is both the output of 'ls', and files you transfer with 'get' or 'put').I try to connect to a remote computer using ssh and then tunnel the ftp connection back to by computer using
ssh -R 1234:<local machine>:21 ...
it looks like you _might_ be able to do what you wanted, _if_ your could force the 'data' port to always be the same port on the remote machine, and then tunnel that port too via ssh. if this is possible, perhaps someone on the list can show us how to do that.
However IIRC there is no inherent limitation in the ssh protocol for starting tunnels on the fly.
I vaugly recall that mindterm had a feature of "on-the-fly" creation of ssh tunnels for ftp connections. Though in their page I only see an "ftp proxy" mentioned:
